Send Your Dog to Camp!

Welcome to Country Dogs®, All-Season Boarding Camp. We provide a door-to-door pickup and delivery service to NYC/NJ/PA and DC/NoVA and PA/MD.

We have served over 1500 customers with over 3000 boardings since July 2004.

More About Us

Values: We believe strongly that dogs prefer to be outdoors with room to run in happy/safe playtime with other dogs. We require that our kennels be over-sized, clean, and disease-free, but we try to preserve the rustic quality of a farm setting. Our goal is to make our boarders feel that they’ve been sent to camp (not prison) and should return home happy, healthy, rested, relaxed, and perhaps even a little tired from all the exercise.

Good Boarders vs Bad Boarders: Over the years we’ve found that the following qualities in a dog fit well with Country Dogs: Social, Healthy, 1-10 yrs old, Obedient. These qualities do not fit well with Country Dogs: Overly aggressive (biters and fighters), Runners (escape artists), Infirm (sickly, heavily-medicated), Aged (10+ years old), Loud (howlers, yappers). If your dog has any of the latter qualities, please discuss with us.

Our Specialty: Given the nature of our facilities, the large size of our kennels, and the amount of outdoor time provided, we have become quite popular for longer-term, larger-dog boardings. We are, however, a great facility for smaller dogs and weekend boardings (pickup Thursday; dropoff Monday).

Track Record: Country Dogs has an excellent record of providing a safe, humane, exercise and fresh-air-oriented boarding experience for dogs. We have served over 1500 customers with over 3000 boardings in multiple locations since July 2004 (DC/NoVA).

Vision: We would like to offer the Country Dogs® experience to other urban areas. Not only do we believe that dogs should have a natural outdoor experience, we also believe in preserving our country’s historic farmhouses and farmland. We love to find interesting rural properties and restore them in creative, profitable, and (of course) animal-friendly ways.

A Good Business Opportunity We are actively looking for farm owners who are interested in the Country Dogs® opportunity. If you own or plan to purchase a farm located within 100 miles of a major city, we’d love to chat with you.

Ideal locations include the following: farmhouse for owner/caretaker, barn/outbuilding for dog lodging, remoteness from neighbors, 15+ acres of land for common dog runs, all within 100 miles of major city. Our current priorities and major areas of interest are Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte (license pending), Phoenix, Orlando/St. Pete, Miami, and San Francisco.
